I love LOVE coming here. The classes are fast paced so I dont get bored or overwhelmed with the struggle of the moves. The teachers are the perfect combination of supportive and corrective. Its easy to get to, lots of class options. Ive taken classes with maybe 6 different teachers and theyve all been great. I walk out of the workout feeling my body burning, but not the exhausted tired that leaves me feeling weak all day. I just feel stronger.

Havent met a class or instructor that I havent liked! Everyone is friendly, knowledgable, and kind at the SM Bar Method. Additionally, the facility is spotless. Showers are clean. Main room well-lit and well-ventilated. Very nice location.

I am just coming to the end of attending bar classes for a month, & I absolutely love it! I am an active person already but this is a whole new kind of workout for me. It is great for toning and strengthening. In just one month of going I can see results and I feel great. I look forward to going to classes.The instructors are awesome. Especially Kristi and Tina, they are my favorites! I will continue attending Bar Method of San Mateo for sure!

I recently moved back into the area and remembered coming here years ago. Im so happy to be back! It is the best workout ever and the staff are just wonderful and so helpful during the class.

I would give them 10 stars if I could! For me, Bar method has given me the best results compared to any other type of exercise I have done (Pilates on reformers, yoga, gym workouts, etc). It has changed my body- given me more muscle, but longer and leaner muscle instead of bulking up. Ive been going for a year or so, and it never gets old or easy! I am stronger and my posture is better than ever before. The San Mateo studio is so clean, beautiful, and welcoming. They are a fabulous group of instructors and staff, and its a pleasure coming to class!

At first I didnt like the classes; I wasnt sweating and my muscles werent sore. But as my form improved so did my workout. They really put the effort in to helping you improve your form and giving you adjustments throughout class. First time Ive been given curl modifications that actually prevent my neck and shoulder tiring out before my abs!Teachers are friendly and try and learn your name!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BAR METHOD. I AM ABLE TO ENJOY BOTH SAN MATEO AND PALO ALTO LOCATIONS. I WORK CLOSE TO THE SAN MATEO STUDIO AND EVERY INSTRUCTOR IS AMAZING! YOU ARE CHALLENGED AT EVERY CLASS AND SEE AMAZING RESULTS WHEN YOU KEEP ATTENDING

I just love it. All instructors are very knowledgeable and consistent. I appreciate the fact that instructors pay attention to your form, it makes a lot of difference when doing it right. I have already lost a few pounds in less than a month.

Ive completed 10 classes and am very glad Ive begun. This is a fabulous, leg/core/arm intensive work out with attentive and exceptionally qualified instructors who correct form and are encourage everyone. Very accommodating front desk and nice locker room/shower area. I find the floor interesting in that it is a thick carpet. San Mateo location is so very popular that you need to reserve in advance or miss out.

The San Mateo studio has teachers and staff that are pleasant and helpful. They give you confidence and support to get the best workout you can for your level. No judging !!!

I was not really into taking group classes, but some friends and I decided to give it a try. I love this class! I feel stronger and more confident (better posture too!). Noreen and the rest of the instructors/staff are very helpful and encouraging.

The workout itself is well-designed and precise in its form. The instructors are very hands-on in ensuring your body is in the proper form for the exercise to prevent injury and obtain the best result. The location is very clean and airy and the equipment is well maintained. Pricing is transparent and the policies flexible to enable a busy work schedule. Its not an easy routine, but the Express and Move classes are a welcome addition to the schedule, which has early morning (6am) and late evening (6.30pm) classes. It can be intimidating to start a new routine but the people - from the front desk to the instructors and the other clients - make you feel very welcome and at ease.

I love these classes! Each class is an amazing workout. The studio is really nice, and the teachers always correct me when Im not positioned correctly. I am definitely starting to feel stronger. I highly recommend The Bar Method.

The Bar Method San Mateo has been a life changer. I just completed the first-timer unlimited 30 day trial and am excited to keep Bar Method classes as a regular part of my schedule. Their staff, routines, and facilities are top notch. My most pleasant surprise is the cushioned carpet which keeps my joints happy :) Thank you Bar Method San Mateo!

I really enjoy the classes taught at this studio. I didnt grow up doing ballet/dance/gymnastics (or any organized sports), and Im not someone who enjoys working out, but somehow Ive been coming here consistently for over a year! The corrections made by the instructors are very helpful.

I have been going to Bar Method in San Mateo for about a month now. The studio is really nice with nice locker rooms, bathrooms, and showers too (very important). What has stood out to me the most over the last month is the instructors. Being totally new to barre, i was pretty clueless for a while. They are all so encouraging and helpful, they are the reason that my experience has been great so far.

The staff and instructors at the San Mateo are some of the sweetest people I have met! Not only is the environment so pleasant, but the workout itself is very exciting. After a month of bar method, I cant imagine a week without it. The Bar Method has changed the way I workout for the better!

Love this studio. Clean facility and strong teachers. I always get a tough workout.

The Bar Method is a great workout! I am used to playing sports or going to the gym, so adding barre was a great way to mix up my schedule. Instructors are all really friendly and are super helpful to ensure you get the best out of your workout! Im always looking forward to the next class!

I have been a long time dancer who suffered a lower back injury a year ago. I began classes a few weeks ago and not only am I feeling strong and fit, but I’ve had less back pain. The classes are challenging but each and every teacher provides hands on direction to ensure safety and maximum growth. I’m hooked!

Great workout and highly experienced intructors! I recently moved to the Bay Area from LA and was happy to find a Bar Method in the area. I’ve really enjoyed the classes and community at this studio. A great mix of ages and experience levels.

I love the Bar Method. Its a great form of exercise that creates positive results from strengthening, flexibility and toning. All staff from the owner, instructors and receptionists are great- super friendly and very supportive.

I was worried about trying something new but this place is AWESOME! I was supported and welcomed the second I walked in the door. On my second visit, I was known by name and by my 7th class, I could already feel myself getting stronger. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

My wife has been taking the Bar Method at the San Mateo studio for more than five years and it has changed both of our lives for the better. She eats well and works out consistently at both the San Mateo and the Palo Alto studios, so now I work out harder and eat better than ever.Thank you Bar Method for lifting and toning so many behinds, hers especially.

I started at The Bar Method over a year ago and I love it! Its a great workout, the instructors are amazing and I love the new Bar Restore class!

The Bar Method San Mateo is my workout home! Ive been attending class regularly at this studio for 7 years. No other workout that Ive tried (from weight training to running, yoga to cycling) has EVER made a dent in my body. Now Im 2 clothing sizes smaller and stronger than Ive ever been. And, Ive got a booty! If you want to change your body and break your fitness plateau, this is the place for you!

Great instructors and schedules. I quit for nearly two years, could have gone back anywhere, but went back to San Mateo. Love this studio.

Great workout, and the best barre class in my book! Love their focus on form. Modern and clean studio

Love this location and the great instructors! Its my first time trying Bar Method and Im loving it. Really motivated to continue!

I’ve tried many places that offer Barre classes. The San Mateo Bar Method is so far my favorite!!

The instructors are wonderful here! They are so great at giving you personal coaching for each move.

I love this gym. Very clean and the equipment is well maintained.

It is a great workout that really sculpts your muscles. The instructors are really helpful and nice.

June 2019 UpdateIts been 1.5 years at Bar MethodIts been a terrific journey.... the classes are improvingto make it better for us to grasp and effectively performthe positions/exercises. I really appreciate how the routinesare refined ( Careful thought goes into the program)The variety and teachers keep the program fun andinteresting with great attention to each participant.New classes and more classes were added. The schedule is thebest to accommodate everyones schedule.... morning, noon orevening and weekends.... you can always find a class!Other reasons to come:> The staff is very friendly and helpful.> A superb reservation system> The facilities, classes and staff do everything to make it a fun and comfortable experience.> Parking is so easy.> Youll feel great!2018:I have been attending classes at San Mateo Bar Method for about 6-7 months now. The teachers and staff are first rate and take a personal approach to maximize the experience for each student. They help students with gentle corrections and explanations during the class.The upbeat music is motivational and keeps you going.Each person can focus on challenging moves if they’re ready. It’s not high pressure but very encouraging. Its great that each class varies so its not totally repetitive. I started with 2-3 classes a week and now Im attending about 4 classes a week and it feels great. Im still learning to refine each pose by getting the right positioning, posture and alignment with the help of patient teachers. :) I usually take the noon express and standard one hour classes and the cardio workout is just right with room to push further.When I first started, it was all new to me - I had a hard time with my pushups but I’m getting better. (My previous program was hot bikram but the heat was difficult to endure.) im still working on the abdomen curls and lifts which take more effort from me.BAR Method exercises focus on core strength ( abdomen, all leg muscles and arm muscles ). Its very comprehensive. Theres always plenty of convenient parking at the San Mateo location and the reservation process is perfect to ensure good class sizes.The monthly unlimited membership is just right for me - I go on extended vacations occasionally and they allow a one month suspension.I would highly recommend Bar Method! Give it a try!

I cant say enough kind words for The Bar Method; Ive had so many injuries due to working out incorrectly; what I love about The Bar, is the Teachers do not do the class w/us..they are watching us and making corrections...the Front Desk Staff are so kind and pleasant and the Teachers are the best!!
